Özet
Purpose: Bibliometric analysis is one of the most widely used tools to quantify the research prolificacy in a specific area of knowledge. This paper aims to provide a list of the top 100 cited articles published between 2013 and 2023 on systemic fluoride toxicity to offer an up-to-date quantitative-qualitative analysis of publications. Methods: In order to compare the topic of systemic fluoride toxicity in Scopus and Web of Sciences (WOS) databases between 2013 and 2023, the 100 most cited articles with the subject of "systemic fluoride toxicity" in the title, abstract and keywords as of January 9, 2024, were listed. The number of citations, authors, journal subjects, country, prominent funding sponsors, keywords density and affiliation of origin were evaluated. A graphical illustration of keywords, co-authors, and countries was created using VOSviewer. Results: While the number of citations for 100 articles in the Scopus database varied between 207 and 54, in WoS this number varied between 218 and 7. All studies were published in English. The most productive institution in Scopus searches was the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China (n=8). Most of the studies in the articles were conducted in China, India, and the United States. The most prolific authors were Yousefi, M. (n= 6) in Scopus database searches and Choubisa, Shanti Lal (n=9) in WoS. According to both databases, the main sponsor was the National Natural Science Foundation of China. The majority of the most cited articles in the field of systemic fluoride toxicity were in the field of ‘Environmental Sciences’. Conclusions: A list of the 100 most cited articles published between 2013 and 2023 in the Scopus database was obtained. The WOS database provides a historical list showing which articles were cited with the topic 'systemic fluoride toxicity' between 2013 and 2023. The current citation analysis sheds light on existing publications on systemic fluoride toxicity in two different databases. It will assist researchers interested in this topic by saving significant effort and time in finding appropriate article leads.
